'15 50i here. No oil burning, no engine issues in 22,000 mi.

My commute to work is about 9 miles, 6 of which are highway, so it spends a lot of it's time in warmup. I get about 18 MPG average, 24-ish for highway driving.

As for the 50i...if you're thinking about it, do it. The only people who would be truly satisfied with the 35i are the ones who would never even consider the 50.

Reasons to not get the 50:
You think Q-ships were immoral in WWII and still are today.
You feel guilty every time you embarrass a twentysomething in his Camaro, in front of his date.
You have poor muscle control in your right leg.
You're concerned about getting a ticket for doing 100 at the end of every onramp.
You like to know when the AC compressor is running by feeling the car slow down a bit.
You don't like the rumble of a V8.
At 1000 mi/month, the extra $20 for fuel means your kids might go hungry.
